Second Chances In Elk Ridge
(2025)(The sixth book in the Callahans of Elk Ridge series)
A Story by Susanne Ash
They were young, in love, and full of dreams. Then everything fell apart. Now they have one more shot at forever. If they’re brave enough to take it.
Lauren Callahan never expected to return to Elk Ridge, especially not to the lodge she once dreamed of running with the man she married too young. After heartbreak, betrayal, and a devastating loss, she’s back where it all began, working alongside the one man she can’t forget.
Liam Callahan has built his life around responsibility. First to his family, then to the lodge, and always to the memory of what he lost. When his ex-wife is hired to manage the books, he tries to keep things professional. But old wounds resurface, and so do the feelings he buried years ago.
When they’re asked to plan a major event together, the tension between them starts to shift. Sparks flicker. Glimpses of what they once had begin to surface. But forgiveness doesn’t come easily, and trusting that love can survive the weight of the past is even harder.
Can two hearts that once broke apart find their way back to each other? Or will the second chance they never expected slip away for good?
This is a clean and emotional second-chance romance filled with lingering tension, family ties, and a love worth fighting for.
Welcome to Mountain Laurel Lodge
Nestled deep in the heart of the North Carolina mountains, Mountain Laurel Lodge is more than just a retreat. It’s home to the Callahan family, a group of gruff yet good-hearted brothers and cousins who never expected love to show up at their doorstep.
